Where can I get a used lawn tractor engine?
Hi,
Where should I be looking to find a rpelacemtn for a B&S 15.5 hp IC engine? I want a used one because I'm just going to be using this tracotr for plaowing snow off the driveway, I upgraded to a ZTR mower when the engine blew on this one. It's been surprisingly hard to find a suitable engine on the net, even Ebay seems to have very little selection. So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thanks, Gearing up for winter in Chicago P.S. If anyone has an advice on how high/low I should go with the hp I would appreciate that as well. |

My guess is that you can spend $75 for a used engine, spend 4 hours exchanging them and have no idea how good the "new" engine is or spend $100 to buy an old running machine without a mower deck, hook up a plow and do your thing. |

"Why take a chance on a used one? I'd rebuild mine."
If you saw the old one you'd understand. We uh, had a little problem with it. We pulled it off (only took about 1/2 hour) and my father -in-law (ex mechanic) pulled it apart, there's a broken rod among other problems. I'd love to find an old lawn tractor for $100, but again, where do I look? I just did a search on Ebay, got one result which looked promising until I discovered I'd have to pick it up in Oklahoma. |

Don't be so hung up on eBay. I find them in local classifieds, in front of homes with for sale signs on them, on a local radio buy & sell program, on supermarket bulletin boards, at yard sales, and at the local Old Time Power Club flea market. |

And, of course, fitting another one back on always takes longer. You'll be lucky is the mounting holes are even close - and if the carb will take the throttle and choke cables, etc. .. |
